But my question still stands as it is. I wanted 2 know that if he was not having VAT No. till now, then how could he ask for the same. i done my registration in 2010-11 & according to my knowledge if the person is not having VAT no. for the concerned financial year he is not suppose ask for payment of VAT.

Even though he was not registered by the time of selling the house to you, but during the year his receipts might have crossed the exemption limit and he is liable to collect VAT then he has to register and he has to pay VAT amount against his receipts. So he is asking his clients to pay VAT.
